Connolly's trade, in the early 1960s, was that of a welder (specifically a boilermaker) in the Glasgow shipyards, but he gave it up towards the end of the decade to pursue a career as a folk singer. He first sang in the folk rock band The Humblebums with Gerry Rafferty and Tam Harvey, with whom he stayed until 1974, before beginning singing as a solo artist. In the early 1970s, Connolly made the transition from folk singer with a comedic persona to fully-fledged comedian, for which he is now best known. In 1972, he made his theatrical debut, at the Cottage Theatre in Cumbernauld, with a revue called Connolly's Glasgow Flourish. He also played the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In 1972, Connolly's first solo album, Billy Connolly Live!, was produced, with a mixture of comedic songs and short monologues. In 1975 he topped the UK Singles Chart with "D.I.V.O.R.C.E."The most expensive item with a signature of Billy Connolly (GEORGE BEST AUTOGRAPH 1977 MANCHESTER UNITED + MATT BUSBY, BILLY CONNOLLY, GREEN) was sold in December 2021 for $234.62 while the cheapest item (no reserve BILLY CONNOLLY autograph HAND SIGNED MISC 3988) found a new owner for $1.25 in May 2017.
